Hekze

May I be given the strength to bear what cannot be changed, the courage to change what can be changed, but also the wisdom to distinguish one from the other.

Your stakes

Measurable performance and sustainable impact

Fund participations face a number of very pragmatic challenges:

  • How can we impact performance – through operational optimization and growth strategies – to produce solid, sustainable operating results?
  • What technological innovations should be prioritized, particularly in AI?
  • How can ESG obligations be managed to create real value?
  • What are the right teams and the best governance to secure value creation plans?


In this context, the involvement of experienced profiles who have been faced with all kinds of complex situations, and who are able to put themselves in a position of transmission, will bring definite value to all the players involved, from prediligence to exit.
